Depending on how old you are, you may not, especially when the company is celebrating its 30th anniversary this week -- a lifetime in the tech world.<br /><br /><a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/adobelife/2012/12/03/adobe-turns-30/" target="_blank">The Life@Adobe Blog has announced</a> the 30th anniversary of Adobe this week, a milestone that few tech companies still in business can claim. Founded by John Warnock and Chuck Geschke in December, 1982, Adobe has gone on to be a software publishing powerhouse with such household names as Photoshop and Acrobat's PDF format.<br /><br />"Creativity. Big data. Changing the world through digital experiences. That’s the Adobe we know today, and this week, we are proud to celebrate our 30th Anniversary as a company," the blog post begins.<br /><br />"As part of the celebrations, we asked our some of our employees to share stories of our incomparable co-founders, John Warnock and Chuck Geschke, and memorable moments in their Adobe career that reflect Chuck’s and John’s passion for the business, warmth and wit, and enduring impact on employees."<br /><br />Be sure to hit the blog to read all of the employee stories posted there, and kudos to Adobe for continuing to offer its fine products for all of us to enjoy three decades later.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.

<!--paging_filter--><p>Our lives are on our iPhones. Gone are the days of fishing through boxes of old photos and unlabeled Super 8 videos; now, we can reminisce just by reaching into our pockets. But even the most obsessive parents can lose track of their favorites in such an endless sea of snapshots.<br /><br />That's where Lifetime in My Pocket comes in. A photo organization app that focuses on individual pictures rather than full events, Lifetime filters your photo library into a single stream of moments that tracks every milestone and precious memory in a sleek chronological portrait. Lifetime clearly isn't interested in joining the fray of photo apps competing for the most filters and features, so don't expect to manipulate your photos here or even eliminate red eye. Think of it like an accordion wallet insert; it holds only your favorite photos so you can quickly show them off.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/files/u325188/2012/12/screen.png" width="620" height="465" /></p><p>Building your timeline is as simple as inputting your child's birthday and tapping the camera button to either add or shoot a photo. A set of "eye guides" helps you position your photo for optimal viewing, and everything else is done automatically; Lifetime even uses your photos' metadata to automatically sort by age. It's really quite wonderful, especially since Apple still doesn't let us see the time stamps in our camera roll. As more snapshots are added, thumbnails populate the sides of the timeline, making for a very attractive layout (which will look even better once it gets iPhone 5 support).<br /><br />The only way to share your creation, however, is to export a video "lifeshow" that can be posted to Facebook. The process is easy enough, but the finished product looks like a cheap imitation of Apple's slideshow feature. An option to create a PDF or JPG of the timeline would be much better. Also, Lifetime charges $0.99 for a second timeline (or $2.99 for unlimited ones), so if you have more than one kid, it'll cost you.<br /><br /><strong>The bottom line.</strong> Lifetime doesn't have a sepia filter, but there's no better way to see how much your child has aged.</p><fieldset class="fieldgroup group-the-bottom-line"><legend>Review Synopsis</legend><div class="field field-type-text field-field-product">

<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u220903/evernote_food_200px.jpg" alt="Evernote Food" width="200" height="150" class="graphic-right" />Many of us already swear by Evernote, the popular app that gives us space in the cloud for remembering all those little scraps of information that might otherwise be lost. Now, the company is expanding its iPhone presence with two new apps aimed at helping you remember food you like and people you’ve just met.<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.evernote.com/category/product-updates/" target="_blank">Evernote</a> has expanded its horizons in recent months, first with the acquisition of Skitch and now with the availability of two new iPhone apps: Evernote Food and Evernote Hello. The new arrivals extend the original Evernote goal of helping you remember things in your life, but are aimed specifically at meals you love and people you meet.<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.evernote.com/2011/12/07/remember-the-food-and-meals-you-love-with-evernote-food/" target="_blank">Evernote Food</a> is a free iPhone app which “is all about preserving the experiences, thoughts and memories that accompany food.” Your favorites are sorted by Meal and can include photos, captions, venue, notes and tags so you can quickly document the food you love -- or even remind you of those occasional meals you don’t. Love a particular meal so much you want to share it with friends? Evernote Food abides, with Facebook, Twitter and email sharing built right in.<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.evernote.com/2011/12/07/our-new-app-evernote-hello-will-help-you-remember-people/" target="_blank">Evernote Hello</a> aims to tackle an even bigger issue: Remembering people we meet in everyday life. Some of us are good with names but forget the faces or vice versa, but Hello promises to help you remember what a person looks like, when you met them and why -- and even who else was there when the fateful event took place.<br /><br />Both apps are synchronized with Evernote, which means you can easily find them from any device or computer. Search for a particular person you snapped with Evernote Hello and you’ll find other notes created at the same time. And as always, the apps are&nbsp; absolutely free.<br /><br /><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=ApuPaiKIpxg&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fevernote-foo%252Fid481893372%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30&quot; target=&quot;itunes_store&quot;&gt;Evernote Food" target="_blank">Evernote Food</a> is compatible with any iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, while <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=ApuPaiKIpxg&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fevernote-hello%252Fid484359282%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30&quot; target=&quot;itunes_store&quot;&gt;Evernote Hello" target="_blank">Evernote Hello</a> is compatible with the iPhone, fourth-generation iPod touch or any Wi-Fi (or Wi-Fi + 3G) equipped iPad 2. Both apps require iOS 5 or later and can be downloaded now from the App Store.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.

<!--paging_filter--><p><img src="/files/u220903/steve_jobs_1955-2011_200px.png" alt="Steve Jobs 1955-2011" width="200" height="150" class="graphic-right" />Even though most of us never got an opportunity to meet Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in person, we still felt a connection to the man, the myth, the legend through the products he introduced. Now, Apple has collected emails from more than a million of you in a new page on the company’s website.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.apple.com/stevejobs/" target="_blank">Apple has updated the page which used to hold co-founder Steve Jobs’ corporate bio</a>, now titled “Remembering Steve.” After soliciting comments from product owners and fans all over the world, the company is now posting more than a million of them in an automatically updated page that scrolls every few seconds.<br /><br />“Over a million people from all over the world have shared their memories, thoughts, and feelings about Steve,” the page header reads. “One thing they all have in common -- from personal friends to colleagues to owners of Apple products -- is how they’ve been touched by his passion and creativity. You can view some of these messages below.”<br /><br />And it’s not too late to add your own -- the company continues to make available a public email address at <a href="mailto:rememberingsteve@apple.com" target="_blank">rememberingsteve@apple.com</a> where you can add your own thoughts and have them posted for the world to see.<br /><br />The new “Remembering Steve” page went live on Wednesday in conjunction with a private, company-wide celebration of Steve Jobs’ life taking place on the Apple campus in Cupertino on October 19. Apple retail stores will also close for several hours today during the event in order for employees there to view a live webcast of the service.<br /><br /><em>Follow this article’s author, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/JRBTempe" target="_blank">J.R.
